Soolantra is not as good as oral antibiotics (I took Doxicycline for about 8 years for rosacea). But it is the first cream that worked for me. I am sticking with it. BUT! I am using the same drug at, literally, 1/30 the cost. That is, the horse de-worming medicine Ivermectine. It is made to be eaten by horses. I rub about 0.1 grams on my face and it works as well as Soolantra. It is a bit ...

I was prescribed Soolantra for my rosacea by a dermatologist. Within about 3-4 days my skin started hurting when you touched it and became very red and inflammed. By about the 5th day I had tiny hive-like bumps everywhere I had been using the cream. Once it was bad enough I quit applying the cream but the next couple of days the hives did not go away and my lips and tongue started to swell. My PCP...

People seem to either love or hate this drug. For me, it cleared my skin about 90% within days. And no side effects. It's really been a lifesaver.

this cream is so soothing and calming to my face. my face would often be "angry" with me when I would use other creams and supposed "gentle" treatments. this cream is hands down the best I have used and have seen less redness and bumps in the month I have been on it. Its fantastic!!

I would say my condition has worsened. I had a sample size then I got a full-size and after several weeks of use I see no improvement and possible worsening.

Imm 44 and i look like im in my 20s now. My confidence is drastically at the top and i keep getting hit on now (yay me! Lol). Its costly, but worth it!

I had severe acne rosacea for 10 years. It was embarrassing. Random people would come up to me with acne advice and I'd explain that what I had was different. Nothing helped. I returned to the dermatologist after I started getting pustules, not just on my face, but around my eyes! Within 2 days this product completely cleared the rosacea. I actually cried tears of joy. I couldn't be happier. I still get excited when I catch myself in a mirror. I've had maybe 3 little pustules that immediately cleared up since starting this product many months ago. Amazing. I'm sorry it seems not to have worked as well for everyone. Read More Read Less

I have been managing rosacea with metro for years but it has not worked all that well. Within a few days of starting Soolantra, my lesions cleared up and I have had no new ones. There are different kinds of rosacea, and for the kind I have, which is mostly lesions not redness, this is very effective.

Rosacea for 2 years, spots are now starting to increase in numbers as well as size. Been on this product for one week. There has been no adverse effect so far but neither has there been any improvement. I will review this weekly for those of you who are interested. I did not expect that it would have worked after only one week.

I have been using this drug for a month now and have not seen any improvements in my skin. In fact, things are worse! I was told to use this for 2 months before I would see any real results but I do not see things getting better any time soon. I will continue for the next 30 days per my dermatologist but I am very doubtful.

This medicine has been very effective in eliminating my redness and flares. I am very pleased with my response and I plan to continue using this cream.

Over the last 6 months I have been experiencing very red scaly skin on portions of my face. Largely related to food allergies. In the last month it has worsened significantly. Last I received soolantra from my Dr. to try. I have been so happy to report that within 3 days I saw a massive improvement. The extreme rediness has subsided and after only 5 days the scaliness is also almost completely gone. After trying so many different products I am really relieved. I hope to reduce the frequency of use. So far I have been using it twice a day as directed. Read More Read Less

I have had rosa eat for over 15 years. It began to worsen about 5 years ago. Over the yeRs I have tried every medicine and topical and each time I had severe reactions. This May 2015 my doctor gave me Soolantra and I saw improvements within 2 weeks. I used every day for those two weeks and then used every other day and now I only need to use it 2x a week. I still get small flare ups but I contribute them to stress and heat and some foods. I will be on Medicare in 3 months and hope I can continue with the Soolantra. It has been a godsend!Read More Read Less

I've had rosacea for a few years, just redness, with no breakouts. I've tried several topical prescriptions and they made the redness worse. Soolantra not only is making redness worse, I'm seeing bumps and scaliness after 5 days. That's it, I'm done.

I gave this a good shot, I think. After 8 weeks, I stopped using it. I've read you should allow 12 weeks, but I can't believe I'll suddenly have a significant improvement in the next few weeks. My breakouts are worse than ever. Not saying the med made it worse; could be lack of effective treatment for 8 weeks that did it. I had card for $25 for the medication (otherwise would have been over $200). Soolantra did not work for me at all

After using Soolantra for 2 months, the results have been mixed. Overall, my skin is much smoother and lacks the flakiness/dry spots that I couldn't get rid of. Initially I seemed to be getting more tiny whiteheads all over my face, but that reaction subsided in two weeks or so. My nose and cheeks are clear, but my chin is still a disaster. This is where my rosacea bumps and breakouts are concentrated. My chin has been badly broken out for the last 3 weeks. Back to the dermatologist I go. Read More Read Less

I battled mild to severe roscea for several years. Tried all creams and all antibiotics. Every cream I have used in the past made my skin burn and flare up. Soolantra has been wonderful!!!! My skin cleared up within a week and have not had a flare up since. I do not modify my diet anymore and do not use/take anything else. I have been using this product for 7 months. I highly recommend at least trying it!!!

Literature on Soolantra says its works for 80% of users. And for that 80% it is significantly more effective than other prescribed treatments. Fortunately I am part of the 80%. For me, truly great success and no side effects. (The same goes for my two brothers)

Better results than I experienced with Finacea and without the annoyance of itching and burning.
